The Role of Transarterial Embolization Plus Radiotherapy Compared to Radiotherapy or Transarterial Embolization Alone in the Management of Painful Bone Metastases: Results of a Systematic Review.

This study systematically reviews the efficacy and safety of combining transarterial embolization (TAE) with radiotherapy (RT) for managing bone metastases (BM), assessing clinical response (CR), and local control (LC). A literature search using PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Medline Plus, and the Cochrane Library identified three relevant studies with 74 patients and 103 BM. One study included local chemotherapy infusion with TAE.

Multidimensional program for insomnia in a cohort of people with HIV.

Objective: Sleep disorders (SD) are prevalent in people with HIV (PWH), but poorly addressed in HIV care. We evaluated the effectiveness of a multidimensional program for SD in an outpatient HIV clinic.

Methods: Interventional study in 175 PWH on ART suffering from insomnia.

Immunogenicity and Determinants of Antibody Response to the BNT162b2 mRNA Vaccine: A Longitudinal Study in a Cohort of People Living with HIV.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic posed significant challenges worldwide, with SARS-CoV-2 vaccines critical in reducing morbidity and mortality. This study evaluates the immunogenicity and antibody persistence of the BNT162b2 vaccine in people living with HIV (PLWH).

Methods: We monitored anti-SARS-CoV-2 Spike IgG concentration in a cohort of PLWH at five time points (T0-T4) using chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassays (CMIAs) at the baselined both during and after vaccination.

Kaposi sarcoma and vertebral involvement in people with HIV: a case report and systematic literature review.

Background: Kaposi Sarcoma (KS) has been historically associated with HIV, especially in people with advanced immunosuppression. Its prevalence decreased over time, but management remains difficult especially when the diagnosis is late and there is a visceral involvement. Bone localization, and particularly the vertebral one, is rare.

Weight excess and obesity are associated with binge-eating behaviours in people with HIV.

Objective: Binge eating is a mental health disorder related to weight gain, whose prevalence/correlation with weight excess in people with HIV (PWH) have been scarcely investigated.Design: A cross-sectional study of PWH who underwent the validated Binge Eating Scale (BES) questionnaire.

Methods: We included adult PWH during routine visits from October 2022 to February 2023.
